Did Gibson stop making the Firebird?

The Gibson Firebird is a solid-body electric guitar manufactured by Gibson from 1963 to the present.

What does a Gibson Firebird sound like?

From all the stuff I read, firebird should sound like a beefed up telecaster or a strat mixed with an sg. In short though, this thing just sounds dull. Like a strat, but not as much punch in the neck and a duller, less twangy bridge.

Who used the Gibson Firebird?

Paul McCartney

Unbeknownst to many, the Beatles' “leftie” bassist often played a right-handed Firebird during the early phase of his post-Fab-Four career. Indeed, for his beautiful, emotive solo on 1970's “Maybe I'm Amazed” he turned to – you guessed it – a Firebird.
